Great Value, But has some flaws.

The 6420 is a great tv for how much you will spend on it. The design of the tv is amazing. Thin and clean looking border. It is easy to use and navagate through the menus and widgets. The tv is also easy to use and navigate.
SET UP- I have a PS3 hooked up with an HDMI. Using my iPhone as a remote via the Samsung Remote app. Best looking Blu-Ray Movies on this TV, I would personally say; Up and Star Trek (2009), always demo those to people. Everything is run through a Monster Power Filter.
PICTURE- Picture wise it does has some flaws. Scene that are really dark you can see the LED lights bleeding through the screen. Though many will not notice and pass by this, those who really care about picture quality will hate this. A friend of mine who has the 46" version also has this problem. Other than that the picture is amazing for the price. Bright scenes are mind blowing and Blu-Ray movies are outstanding. To get the most out of this tv you have to get a Blu-Ray Player or PS3. The 120hz does need some tweaking when it comes to playing video games. For games I would recommend turning it off the Auto Motion Plus but turning on the LED Motion Plus. It seems to help alot with motion during gaming. The does seem like it is not enough for gaming as it still does blur but the LED Motion Plus does clean that up.
FEATURES- The whole Smart Tv interface is kinda useless. It nice to see Samsung being innovative, but you'll never really be using it except for Netflix, CinemaNow, Hulu Plus, and maybe some streaming from the computer. The "tons" of other widgets and apps are just usless and have no purpose but to create a few minutes of fun. Other useful features like a web browser and Skype are NOT included in this model. Which yes I understand that there are other models that have these features but you have to pay way more for something that seems as easy as a software update.
3D-The 3D is a cool thing to have in this TV. It works very nice and looks great. I have watched Tangled 3D, Tron 3D and played Killzone 3D and Black Ops 3D. The movies are amazing and defiantly worth it. They look stunning and does add alot of depth. Depending on which movie there will be some stuff that looks like its floating right in the room with you. Though I recommend watching movies in a dark room and not in a very bright one. 3D is dark as it is and you get reflection off the glasses. Games are ok in 3D. If your serious gamer and buying this to do alot of 3D gaming then get a 240hz Tv. It is fun to play a few rounds of Black Ops in 3D but not a few hours worth. It does mess with your eyes as the TV cannot keep up with the motion with the 120hz in 3D. But for the money the 3D is fun to have.
The bleeding of the LED lights and missing features like Skype are really the only complaints of this TV. Over all for the amount i paid for this it is an amazing TV especially for the 40" size. I currently use it as my main TV but eventually will upgrade to a better LED or PLASMA. It works as a good main TV, but it defiantly isn't my dream TV or perfect tv.

The perfect TV!

I needed a TV that fit into my entertainment center, to replace my old 32" tube TV. The opening is 36.6", which happens to be the exact width of this wonderful TV. I wanted HD capability, primarily for sports. The picture on this television is nothing short of outstanding!
The Smart TV Apps are extensive and very easy to set up and download. While I was never interested in 3D, I will buy the glasses and 3D Blu-Ray DVD to take advantage of this set.
The slim bezel means that this is all screen - and it looks simply amazing in my old, and beloved, entertainment center.
This is my 3rd Samsung TV, and it has really brightened up the den - the colors are so awesome that the dog even watches!!!
Best TV EVER.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, great features, smart tv apps
I would recommend this to a friend!

That was my 22 year old daughter's comment when she first saw this TV and she is absolutely right. The picture is so clear and crisp that it is almost 3D without the glasses. The TV is loaded with features. There are so many that I am still don't know them all. I would and have highly recommend this TV to everyone that asks.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, clarity and crispness
Cons: none

This TV has the best picture I have seen on any flat screen tv. With Smart Hub you can access all you social apps and more. Sound is great for regular TV speakers and the colors of the screen are truly unbelieveable!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no built in wi fi
